Did my last run of the year. Broke my goal of 1,025 km (636 in freedom units) and did 1,340 km (832 miles) That was equal to 2.25 miles a day. (Which I did not do, I took breaks) Next year: 1,026 km. That’s close to 1.75 miles a day. A brisk walk. Who else is in?

Democrats are up for a challenge in the mid terms. Millions of working people are going to get big refund checks in May which will counter all the doom and gloom the Dems are spouting. We still have not seen millions of people kicked off Medicaid or snap. But will see big cuts in workers taxes.

Funny

The “Warrior Dividen” is a big topic on post today. The best two ideas I’ve heard from soldiers on post are: 1) pay down the credit card 2) put the tax free money into a RothIRA so all the growth is tax free as well The rest were all “I’m going to buy…”

Before I back Medicare for All, Medicare/caid needs to start paying the full cost of care. Not underpaying by 31% to 87% of the providers cost. Example: a unit of blood costs $650. Medicare only allows $400 billing and only pays $150. The provider eats the cost or charges others more.

Another successful monthly Car Seat Safety Check! We had 31 families come and provided 68 free car seats, as well as helped show parents how to install 11 others they brought. More safe kids, less injuries!

Twice last night we took in someone who wanted to by pass the waiting room for a non-emergency care. (Rash between the toes, feeling sick for two days) Both went right to the waiting room. One left, called 911 to be taken to a different hospital and cussed us out when we told them we had to go to the closest hospital since we were in the drive way.

To make the wife happy on #VeteransDay, here is me in 1991 and 2023 For some reason she likes me then and now. I think it’s the pension, she says she earned it putting up with 22+ years and eight deployments.

Happy #VeteransDay: to my Dad (Army), Granddad (Navy), grand Uncle (Army Air Corp), Uncle and Aunt (National Public Health), Sister (Army), Great Granddad (Marines), Cousins x3 (Air Force, Army x2), Uncle - dads side- (Navy), and all my Army battle buddies over the years.

My home state. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Found my class one job when I was 42. Was able to go full time at 45. Love being a paramedic. Would do it for free. Of course money money would be nice. (Maybe a bit less overtime as well) I found it by looking at what I was doing as a volunteer and then took a part time job, then realized I like it better so applied for full time. Would I do my job for no pay if money did not matter? Yes, I did for ten years!

This is why the Sectary of War called the flag officers to be lectured. Here is the TX national guard arriving in Chicago. Their leaders failed them. Failed them by sending them like this. Failed them by letting them get this way. Likely failed them by not setting an example.

Training continues for the Norwegian Foot March. Goal is 18.6 miles (30 km) with a 25 lb (11 kg) pack in 5 hr (5 hrs) Pace is good but the last mile and a half it dropped to 16:50 from 15:04-15:11 #running
